[libvirt-users] About libvirt domain snapshot problem(for single disk snapshot)
Hi, dear friend. My guest has two disks, vda and vdb. both are qcow2 local file. When guest running state. I want to take the vda snapshot of guest(just vda, no include vdb). but I met libvirt do snapshot for all disks of guest. About methods for follow: 1、 ``` bash virsh snapshot-create-as 8x0lbzvS --name sys_disk3 --disk-only --diskspec "vda,snapshot=external" ``` ``` result [root@10k03 ~]# ls -lh /opt/Images/*sys_disk3 -rw-------. 1 qemu qemu 194K 3月 20 23:27 /opt/Images/00d76a58-9637-4402-9739-21afd1246e06.sys_disk3 -rw-------. 1 qemu qemu 704K 3月 20 23:52 /opt/Images/8d582c1c-355a-4297-9434-2f2f562c77df.sys_disk3 ``` 2、 ``` python #!/usr/bin/env python # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- import libvirt import libvirt_qemu import json import sys name = sys.argv[1] print name conn = libvirt.open() dom = conn.lookupByName(name) xml = """ <domainsnapshot> <name>sysdisk_by_xml</name> <description>By xml</description> <disks> <disk name='vda' snapshot='external'> </disk> </disks> </domainsnapshot> """ flags = 0 flags |= libvirt.VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_CREATE_DISK_ONLY flags |= libvirt.VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_CREATE_QUIESCE ret = dom.snapshotCreateXML(xmlDesc=xml, flags=flags) ``` ``` result [root@10k03 ~]# ls -lh /opt/Images/*sysdisk_by_xml -rw-------. 1 qemu qemu 194K 3月 20 23:52 /opt/Images/00d76a58-9637-4402-9739-21afd1246e06.sysdisk_by_xml -rw-------. 1 qemu qemu 1.2M 3月 21 00:03 /opt/Images/8d582c1c-355a-4297-9434-2f2f562c77df.sysdisk_by_xml ``` 。 Then, I search by google. see your page(redhat.com/archives/libvirt-users/2013-June/msg00102.html). Now, I want to ask you, was you found the way? -- James Iter
